and submit to heat until the mass is reduced- When cool it is ableperfume, and quickly dissolves all extraneous adhering particles to thehair or scalp; can then be removed with the addition of more water as aWash, thus leaving the scalp free from dandrufl', and the hair perfectlyclean, soft, and pliable; is free from the odor or effects of ammonia,as none is used in preparing this composition; is easily compounded,cheap, and can be kept an indefinite length of time.
